Jurisdlctlcn ever aca-^caiefli fcrelgoers^ tala would
enable tne Training cf an Order In acanoll for tne
Truciax Joaat and tne a^ylloatlcn to tnat area of tne
proposed Liefenoe L\egulattcna• Tills woul i give as
legal jurisdiction over sucii an agent# The Order In
Oouncll could be ^ulte a snort and simple one#
3. Suoh cession of Jurisdiction could take tne
form of a brief letter from eacii Jaalkn acnfIrmla^ that
all non-Moslem foreigners In tHelr territories were
under the Jurisdiction of ills Majesty's Ocvernitient.
I think that the Truclal ShaUhs are under the Iraprosslon
that non-Mo siem foreigners and all British subjects
whetaer Moslem or otherwise are# someaoAr or otaer^
already under our Jurisdiction# so tnere may not be
much difficulty In ootalnlng tnls letter. Tnls
Impreadlcn however, does not of course furnlsa safxlolent
sanction for an Order In Jouncll-
4. VIth regard to -ioslem foreigners* It Is
gulte probable of course tnat Individual nostlxe agents
may materialise from this class# and from tnls point
of view It might be convenient to obtain jurisdiction
over them. On the other hand tnls class Is very
large, Persians etc. At present tne 3naIk a Is
responsible for them and we could In time of war bring
pressure to bear on him to deal with any of tnem who
are hostile. If he ceded Jurisdiction over taem# ne
would be no longer responsible, and ne nave no machlne-^y
for controlling them. further# I Imagine tnat the
Shaikhs would be very reluctant to give up Jurisdiction
over tnls class. I think trierefore tnat *e should
try only for Jurisdiction over non-Moslem foreigners#
when our position ^lll ue tne saae as at Kuwait and
iatar
